. I do have one and use it about once a week. It's great for seeing all the fat draining out of the bacon as it cooks. And it leaves the bacon nice and crisp - just the way we like it for bacon rolls at the weekend. I'd far rather all that fat was in the George Foreman fat draining tray and not inside me.
I don't grill a lot of food however as a rule - it's just not the kind of food we eat most of the time. And would you believe if I'm eating a steak, I cook my steak (horror of horrors) in a regular pan with a mixture of butter and olive oil?
I have this thing (as you may know if you've read many of my articles) about food being there to enjoy - and if steak is dry then there's no enjoyment in it for me so I'd rather not eat it.
You might ask then why I am not huge if I go about frying food when everyone (even me) says you should grill or broil it. But the thing is
a) we have steak no more than once or twice a month - it's not a regular meal
b) we have the right amount of whatever we eat - that's about the size of a pack of cards when it comes to steak.
Most of the meals I cook are stews or casseroles, pasta or curries - something with a sauce - so that's no good for the George Foreman grill.
But if you would use a grill a lot it's well worth getting because you'll see the fat drain away out of many grilled meats such as sausages and chops or cutlets and for other things it's easy to clean and quick to cook as both side are grilled at the same time.
So all in all, whether it's worth buying a George Foreman Grill
depends on your personal preferences and how you like to cook your food - a lot of people swear by them - I'm just pleased I have one when it comes to cooking bacon.
